NIOA

XFD nominated on behalf of IP user.

 * Keep Passes WP:GNG. I'm seeing significant coverage in WP:RS, and enough information to create an article.   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:17, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , erm those 3 articles support 1 event only. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 15:13, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * First ref is a client's press release, and second and third refs appear to be advertorial from non-reliable sources. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:57, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The first is an Australian government press release from the Minister for Defence at the time, Christopher Pyne, announcing that NOIA is taking over the old Benalla Small Arms Ammunition Factory. The second, three months later, is from the Asia-Pacific Defence Reporter, an important news site, and says that it has won a major contract to manufacture 81 mm mortar ammunition. The third is from Queensland Country Life, a major regional newspaper, and is about the company being a finalist in the Telstra Business Awards, a prestigious honour (and the NOIA article would be linked from there if it had been updated to add the 2018 finalists). It also tells you a bit about the history of the company. All three sources are independent and highly reliable, and are about different events.   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * A press release is a press release--not independent, and certainly not that one. The other two appear to be either advertorial or press releases recycled for free. I invite other editors to read them and judge for themselves. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Only two  sentences, way too brief for an article entry. In second reference  mainly talks about Rheinmetall, with NIOA only mentioned at the end as a munitions partner. Emphasis seems to be on self promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teraplane (talk • contribs) 08:54, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like Self Promotion/Advertisement. --LuciferEdits (talk) 17:58, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SYNTH and WP:NCORP. The only three sources are trade or local publications. How is this a notable company? Bearian (talk) 19:26, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
